> Despite this promising start, the conservation experiment wasn't to last, after a rival juice manufacturer called TicoFruit sued Del Oro, alleging that its competitor had "defiled a national park".

... why does TicoFruit even care? Did they just see their competitor do something that might be good for people and sue them out of spite?
